Abstract : Background and Objectives: In vivo stains are prompt resources, which have emerged, in the recent years, to aid as clinical diagnostic tools in detecting early premalignant and malignant lesions. The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic efficiency of toluidine blue with Lugol's iodine in oral premalignancies and malignancies and to evaluate the reliability of in vivo staining with toluidine blue and Lugol's iodine in the lesions at risk of malignancy.

2. Indian Journal of Public Health Research Shubha C, Ashok L, Bilateral tonsillolith: A case report & Development 2010;1(2):96-98. Sujatha G. P

Abstract: Tonsilloliths present as medical curiosities that are discovered incidentally on dental or soft tissue radiographs. They are usually asymptomatic and are found usually during routine imaging procedures. A rare case of bilateral tonsillolith in a male patient aged 70 years, which was incidentally discovered on routine panoramic radiograph and confirmed by Computed Tomography. In conclusion, even though in our case tonsillolith was asymptomatic, special emphasis is made on differential diagnosis as some of the soft tissue calcifications that occur in orofacial region may hint occult systemic conditions like atherosclerosis associated cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases.

Abstract: The oral cavity might be thought of as the window to the body, because oral manifestations accompany many systemic diseases. There is no region in the body in which so many diseases manifest themselves as in the oral cavity. A series of diseases may be unique to the oral cavity and its components; others may involve other parts of the body. However, they localize preferentially and appear as a partial manifestation of an acute or chronic general disease and elicit such characteristic oral changes which are of great importance for the diagnosis. These oral manifestations must be properly recognized if the patient has to receive appropriate diagnosis, referral and treatment. Oral physicians are credited to be the first detectors of few occult systemic diseases. One such entity is leukemic gingival enlargement

Abstract: : Background and objectives: Oral submucous fibrosis is a well-recognised and most prevalent premalignant condition of oral mucosa in India and Southeast Asia. Frequent and prolonged chewing of gutkha (readymade mixture of arecanut, tobacco, lime, catechu and sweetening agent) exerts undue pressure on muscles of mastication, which in turn may result in work hypertrophy of muscle. The present study was undertaken to measure thickness of masseter muscle at rest and at maximum clenching position by ultrasonography with masseter muscle hypertrophy in oral submucous fibrosis patient and control group, and also to establish the normal value of masseter muscle thickness ultrasonographically and to prove that ultrasonography is reliable diagnostic technique for the evaluation of masseter muscle hypertrophy in oral submucous fibrosis patient.

Abstract: CGCG is a benign proliferation of fibroblasts & multinucleated giant cells that occurs almost exclusively within the jaws. The clinical behavior of central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) of the jaws is variable; they are clinically classified as aggressive and non-aggressive, the most common site being the mandibular anteriors crossing the midline. Aggressive types of tumours are usually expansive and rapidly grow, causing pain, bleeding, and displaced and loose teeth. The management of CGCG can include conventional surgery with or without medical adjunctive treatment or resection in-bloc for the aggressive variant. Although the most common therapy is surgical curettage, the high recurrence rate, especially in aggressive lesions, has raised concern. This is a case of CGCG occurring in the upper left maxilla with a peripheral soft tissue growth and central radiographic changes leading to various differential diagnoses. The treatment plan included surgical excision and curettage which was followed up for 5 months without recurrence.

Abstract: For centuries the art of palm reading has been practiced in many parts of the world. This ancient healing art was thought to transfer a powerful energy from the practitioner, to the patient an energy that brought healing and well being. Although these ancient practitioners did not know the technical reasons why their palm healing improved. Thermal therapy existed for years and it has taken many decades to recognize this and put to practice the energy medicine. This paper attempts to review the concept of energy in medicine and dentistry to clinical practice.

Abstract: Carcinoma Ex Pleomorphic Adenoma is a rare salivary gland malignancy, usually derived from s long-standing or recurrent benign tumor, the pleomorphic adenoma. This rare tumor comprises less than 4% of salivary gland neoplasms and 11.6% of salivary gland carcinomas. They mostly involve the “major” salivary glands and their occurrence in the minor salivary gland is considered rare, especially in the upper lip. So far there is only one report of CXPA occurring in the upper lip in the literature. Hereby we present a case of carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma in a 52 year old woman who reported to our department with a painful swelling on the upper lip which was diagnosed and treated successfully.

Abstract: Introduction of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) represents a radical change and it is making a breakthrough because of its low effective radiation dose, unique accessibility and low cost with major contributions in the Dentomaxillofacial field. CBCT scanners utilize a cone-shaped ionizing radiation and a two-dimensional detector which allow for a single rotation of the gantry to generate a scan of the entire region of interest.A plethora of applications have been developed that use the 3-dimensional data for a variety of tasks: dentomaxillofacial imaging, implant site assessment, orthodontic planning, impacted tooth evaluation, jaw pathologies, cephalometric analysis, TMJ analysis, periodontal diseases, radiotherapy guidance and more. The virtual modeling and development of a 3D setup that displays individual crowns, roots and craniofacial structures would greatly help the clinician in diagnosis and treatment planning, to determine various treatment options, monitor changes over time, predict and display final treatment results, and measure treatment outcomes accurately. In short, it is ideally suited for high quality and affordable CT scanning of head and neck. CBCT has often been described as the gold standard for imaging oral and maxillofacial area and will definitely become a part of everyday life of most practices in the coming decades. This poster is presented as a review about the development, principle, diagnostic value, benefits and limitations of the emerging diagnostic modality- CBCT.

Abstract: Cystic hygroma is known as lymphangioma which is a benign hamartomatous hyperplasia of lymphatic vessels. This tumour is thought to be developmental malformation of vessels which have poor communication with the normal lymphatic system. Most of the cases of cystic hygroma present before the age of 1-2 year. Only some cases of cystic hygroma present in childhood that enlarged in adulthood. Head and neck is the commonest site of occurrence. Many of this located in the posterior triangle of the neck. They may extend into oral tissues and oro-facial spaces. They may associated with macroglossia, mandibular prognathism, asymmetry of the face. They may cause respiratory embarrassment and dysphagia. We are reporting a case of cystic hygroma in an adult.

Abstract: This study was undertaken to establish a precise technique for estimation of age in adults, both living and dead in forensic work and in archeological studies and to know the accuracy of the technique in age estimation The aim of the study was to estimate the chronological age of an adult from measurements of size of the pulp obtained from intra oral periapical radiographs. The study group comprised of 100 normal individuals ranging from 20 to 70 years divided into six age groups. Patients with the presence of maxillary central and lateral incisors and second premolars and mandibular lateral incisors, canines and first premolars, from either left or right side as in the original study were selected for the study. The paralleling cone technique was used to take intra oral periapical radiographs of these teeth. The measurements of the teeth on the radiographs were taken using vernier calipers and stereomicroscope and the results were statistically analyzed. In the results it was noted that Pearson's Correlation Coefficient of the width ratio's was more significantly correlated (P<0.001) with age than length ratio's (P<0.05). The standard error of estimation (S.E.E) in years of calculated age when compared to the chronological age for the three maxillary teeth was the lowest (10.2 years),followed by all six teeth(10.5 years).Among the single tooth maxillary central incisors had the least S.E.E.(11.5 years) and mandibular canines had maximum error of estimation (13.3years). Gender wise student t-test showed no significant differences in age between male and female subjects.

ORAL SURGERY

Sl. No. Name of Journal, Volume No. Issue and Period Author/s Title of the article 1. Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery: Dr. Geetha N.T Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis in Oral 2010:9(1):42-47 Dr. Neelakamal Hallur Squamous Carcinoma Preoperative Dr. Gayathri Goudar Assessment and Histopathology after Dr Sikkerimath B.C Neck Dissection Dr. Santhosh S. Gudi

Abstract: The presence or absence of nodal metastasis has a great impact on prognosis and survival of patients with head and neck cancer. Risk of occult metastasis is related to the method by which the lymph nodes are evaluated. It is possible to reduce the risk of undiagnosed metastasis with accurate imaging techniques and thus probably reduce the number of elective neck treatments.

Abstract: Dental cements including the glass ionomer cement (GIC) have found widespread use in restoring tooth structures. In this study, modifications of glass ionomer cements (GICs) were made by adding bioactive glass (BAG) to GIC to obtain bioactive restorative materials. This study used polarized light microscopy (PLM) to examine the remineralization effects of the study materials on dentin. It also evaluated the Vickers microhardness of the experimental materials. Experimental glass ionomer cement (GIC)-BAG materials were made by mixing 10 wt% of BAG particles with conventional cure and resin modified GIC powders. Class V restorations were made in 80 extracted mandibular teeth which included 4 groups of 20 teeth each .100 µm sections of the teeth were examined under polarized light microscope after undergoing pH cycling. Materials were also processed into 80 cylindrical specimens and immersed in water for 7 days and 30 days before mechanical tests. Resin modified GIC containing BAG showed a thick uniform layer of mineralization on the restoration- dentin interface. The conventional cure GIC based materials had higher surface microhardness than the resin modified materials.

Abstract: This study compared the antimicrobial effect and surface morphology of glass ionomer cement (GIC) and glass ionomer cement containing 1% w/w chlorhexidine (GIC+CHX) in vivo. Using split mouth design 32 pairs of mandibular molar teeth with dentin caries were sampled microbiologically using ART method. On the first day, an initial sample was taken from the demineralized dentin followed by a second sample, which was taken from the hard dentin after removal of all soft carious dentin. The cavities were restored with GIC or GIC + CHX. The dentin was re-sampled after 7 days and the cavity subsequently re-restored with respective materials. All samples were processed for microbiological determination of total viable count (TVC), mutans streptococci (MS) and lactobacilli (LB) count. Rubber base impressions were made and the casts poured on after 6 month and 1 year. These casts were analyzed for surface morphology under stereomicroscope. The recorded values were statistically analyzed using Wilcoxon's signed rank test, Mann- Whitney test and Chi-square test. The results demonstrated considerable antibacterial effect by GIC and GIC+CHX. The antibacterial activity of GIC+CHX was found to be better than the GIC. There was no clinical difference found for change in surface morphology over the period of 12 months.

Abstract: Background and Objectives: The primary goal of periodontal therapy is to restore the tooth supporting tissues lost due to periodontal disease. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of combination of type I collagen (GTR membrane) and xenogenic bone graft with open flap debridement (OFD) in treatment of periodontal intrabony defects. Materials and Methods: Twenty paired intrabony defects were surgically treated using split mouth design. The defects were randomly assigned to treatment with OFD + collagen membrane + bone graft (Test) or OFD alone (Control). The clinical efficacy of two treatment modalities was evaluated at 9 month postoperatively by clinical, radiographical, and intrasurgical (re-entry) parameters. The measurements included probing pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival recession (GR), bone fill (BF), bone density (BD) and intra bony component (INTRA). Results: The mean reduction in PD at 0-9 month was 3.3±0.82 mm and CAL gain of 3.40±1.51 mm occurred in the collagen membrane + bone graft (Test) group; corresponding values for OFD (Control) were 2.20±0.63 mm and 1.90±0.57 mm. Similar pattern of improvement was observed when radiographical and intra-surgical (re-entry) post operative evaluation was made. All improvement in different parameters was statistically significant (P<0.01). Interpretation and Conclusion: Treatment with a combination of collagen membrane and bone graft led to a significantly more favorable clinical outcome in intrabony defects as compared to OFD alone.

Abstract: The two stage surgical protocol given by Branemark which included a waiting period of 3 to 6 months during which implants were submerged below the soft tissue before they could be loaded in function has now almost become un-necessary and the concept is fast becoming obsolete. During the last 15 years, several authors have reported that the waiting period of 3 to 6 months before loading the implant is not a pre-requisite to achieve osseointegration and with the present day patients becoming more demanding for esthetics, function and more importantly prompt and instant treatment, be it at any cost, the one stage surgical or non submerged implant procedure has become very popular.Results from the literature indicate that immediate loading of dental implant have achieved similar success as noted with conventional(delayed) approach however a careful case selection, proper treatment, meticulous surgery& proper design of prosthesis are essential for optimal outcomes when this approach is adopted.

Abstract: The interrelationship between periodontal and endodontic disease has aroused confusion, queries and controversy. Differentiating between periodontal and endodontic problems can be difficult. A symptomatic tooth may have pain of periodontal and/or pulpal origin. The nature of that pain is often the first clue in determining the etiology of such a problem. Radiographic and clinical evaluation can help clarify the nature of the problem. In some cases, the influence of pulpal pathology may create periodontal involvement. In others, periodontal pathology may create pulpal pathology. This review article discusses the various clinical aspects to be considered for accurately diagnosing and treating endo–perio lesions.

Abstract: Comprehensive management of dental caries should involve the management of disease as well as the lesion. Current decision making process in cariology is influenced by numerous factors such as the size/ depth/ activity of the carious lesion and age/ the caries risk status of the patient. Treatment decisions should involve planning the non-operative/ preventive treatment for non-cavitated or early cavitated lesions and also formulating operative treatment for cavitated lesions. Apart from these two responsibilities, a clinician should also be knowledgeable enough to decide when not to interfere in the caries dynamics and how frequently to recall the patient for follow-ups. The non-operative treatment prescriptions vary in dose, intensity and mode of delivery according to the caries risk status. Minimal invasion and maximal conservation of tooth structure has become the essence of current operative treatments. This part of the series elaborates on the paradigm shift in the management of dental caries.

Abstract: Management of mid-root fractures presents a formidable challenge for clinicians because of the difficulty of achieving a stable reunion of fracture fragments. This article presents two varied treatment options for mid-root fractures. A 15-year-old female reported an impact injury to the maxillary anterior teeth 2 days after its occurrence. Clinically, the maxillary left central incisor was palatally-extruded with a negative vitality response and radiographic evidence of an oblique fracture at the middle third of the root. An endodontic implant was employed which utilized an open technique and has been on follow-up for ten months. A 32-year-old male reported an injury, which resulted in a mobile maxillary right central incisor, three months after its occurrence. Through clinical and radiographic means, a discolored, extruded, and non-vital maxillary right central incisor with an oblique root fracture at the alveolar-crest level was observed. Exploratory surgery was performed; an apical barrier was created with a mineral trioxide aggregate and obturated with gutta percha. The fragments were stabilized with a fiber post and patient has been on follow-up for five months. Short-term follow-up for both of the cases showed promising results both clinically and radiographically.

5. American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Acharya AB A new digital approach for measuring Pathology 2010;31(2):133–137 dentin translucency in forensic age estimation

Abstract: Assessment of age from the dentition constitutes an important step in constructing an identity profile of the decedent. Dentinal translucency is one of the morpho-histologic parameters considered best for dental age estimation, not only in terms of accuracy but also simplicity. By convention, translucency has been measured using calipers. Computer-based methods have been proposed for the same, although these required the use of custom-built software programs. The present study describes a method to measure translucency on sectioned teeth using commercially available computer hardware and software. Translucency measurements on 81 tooth sections were obtained using the digital method and compared with those obtained using a caliper. Correlation coefficients of translucency measurements to age were statistically significant for both methods (P < 0.001) and marginally higher for the digital approach (r = 0.49). Application of linear regression equations derived from both methods on an independent sample (n = 15) revealed better ability of the digital method to assess age-60% of age estimates were within +/-5 years of the actual age as against 40% for caliper-based method. The superior results using the digital method are attributed to refined measurements obtained under magnification and the "touch-free" approach of measuring translucency on digital images of thin tooth sections. Moreover, the computer hardware and software used in the present study are ubiquitous and easy to use. Considering these advantages, the report recommends the use of the digital method to assess translucency for age estimation.

Abstract: A major emphasis of modern-day pediatric dental care is a holistic approach to children and the importance of treating them as individuals and not merely as patients with mouth diseases. We should not restrict ourselves to the oral cavity alone, but also explore the mind of an individual, for in it lays the hidden clue to successful management. In order to achieve this, we need to meet the mind of the child before meeting the mouth. Surmounting pressure on today's children builds a lot of anxiety in them, and this in turn is the foundation for various psychological problems. One such rare but important psychological disorder is “trichotillomania.” The present study is an attempt to provide an insight into this intriguing disorder based on a case report. The signs and symptoms of trichotillomania are discussed, and various management options are outlined.

9. Forensic Science International Babshet M, Acharya AB, Age estimation in Indians from pulp/tooth 2010;197:125e1-e4 Naikmasur V G area ratio of mandibular canines

Abstract: In India, age estimation of living individuals is gaining importance, particularly in cases of child labour, ascertaining majority status and to assess disputed age in criminals. Previous studies on adult age prediction in Indians have focused on histological parameters, which are invasive in nature and not feasible in the living. Methods for age estimation in living adults make use of radiographs to indirectly measure the rate of secondary dentine deposition and studies have focused on ratios of linear measurements rather than absolute dimensions per se. Recently, the ratio of the pulp/tooth area of canines was suggested by a group in Italy who developed regression formulas for age estimation. The present study has assessed the usefulness of one of the formulas on an Indian sample and also examined the use of an India-specific equation in age prediction. Intraoral periapical digital radiographs of mandibular canines were obtained from 143 individuals (aged 20-70 years) using the paralleling technique; pulp and tooth areas were measured using a commercially available computer software programme and the pulp/tooth area ratio was computed. Age was calculated using the Italian formula which revealed a mean absolute error (MAE) of 11.01 years in Indians, an error recognisably greater than the 4.38 years reported in the Italian sample. The divergence may be explained on account of population differences that exist between Italians and Indians as well as variation in the pattern of secondary dentine deposition in Indians. The Indian formula derived (age=64.413-(195.265 x PTR), where PTR is the pulp/tooth area ratio) was applied on a control group of 35 radiographs. The Italian formula was also applied on the control sample to ascertain if the Indian formula markedly improved age prediction. No apparent difference was observed between the two (MAE was 10.76 and 11.58 years, respectively, using the Indian and Italian formula) however, the Indian formula had a tendency to produce more 'stable' age estimates. This could be on account of low correlation (r=-0.34) between secondary dentine deposition and age in Indians and the consequent large pulp/tooth area ratio in some cases; such cases would invariably result in very low age estimates using the Italian formula, unlike the Indian formula which had factored in the low correlation.

10. International Journal of Clinical Pediatric Battepati P, Hegde R Clinical applications of mineral trioxide Dentistry 2010;3(1):43–50 aggregates: report of 4 cases

Abstract: The greatest threats to developing teeth are dental caries and traumatic injuries. The primary goal of all restorative treatment is to maintain pulp vitality so that normal root development or apexogenesis can occur. If pulpal exposure occurs, then a pulpotomy procedure aims to preserve pulp vitality to allow for normal root development. Historically, calcium hydroxide has been the material of choice for pulpotomy procedures. Recently, an alternative material called mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has demonstrated the ability to induce hard tissue formation in pulpal tissue. This article describe the clinical and radiographic outcome of a series of cases involving the use of MTA in pulpotomy, apexogenesis and apexification procedures and root perforations repair..

Abstract: According to World Health Organisation statistics, individuals of the Indian subcontinent have the highest prevalence of orofacial cancer. Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or combination therapies are commonly administered treatment modalities for treatment of oral cancer. Surgical resection can be mutilating, disfiguring and may deeply affect self-image of patients. Orofacial defects have unique limitations and challenges. A coordinated effort from the surgeon, oral physician and the maxillofacial prosthodontist to treat such patients is the need of the hour. This article presents an overview of the orofacial rehabilitation of postcancer treatments along with case reports.

26. Deccan Dental Journal 2010;1:3–6 Nagarale G, Thakur SL Microscopes in periodontal practice

Abstract: A smile can be the most eye-catching feature of a face. Even the subtlest change in a smile can make a dramatic difference in the way one looks and feels about oneself, as looking good is a prime concern today and beauty in health is the new mantra. The domain of periodontics has changed from curative to creative. Today many patients expect an ideal of periodontal therapy that will improve their appearance and function. They expect such therapy to be administered with minimal trauma and discomfort. Microscopes in periodontal practice have thus evolved and broadened the horizons of dentistry in general and periodontics in particular. Improvement in visual acuity, made possible through optical magnification, has become an integral part of modern periodontal practices. Currently the application of magnification to periodontics promises to change clinical concepts of periodontal surgical care.

Aerosols generated during ultrasonic scaling can transport microorganisms from the patients' mouth and respiratory tract to contaminate the skin and mucous membranes of the mouth, respiratory passages and eyes of dental personnel. Health of the dental team may be compromised by such airborne hazards. An effort has been made to highlight the importance of aerosol contamination during ultrasonic scaling.

28. Indian Dentist Research and Review Naik RD, Revankar AV Direct anthropometry in orthodontics – 2010;4(6):26–30 A forgotten art: an overview

Abstract: Current concepts in diagnosis and treatment planning focus on the balance and harmony of various facial features where facial esthetics gains more importance than dental occlusion. This is because, patient perceives beauty based on the overall appearance of the face and not just the dentition. The standards for facial esthetics should be based on data obtained from the general population. Even though anthropometry is an integral part of orthodontic diagnosis, rarely does a clinician use this affordable tool for analyzing cases. The literature pertaining to studies on facial form, esthetics and anthropometry encompasses the fields of plastic surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery and anthropology, in addition to playing a pivotal role in establishing orthodontic treatment goals. The main aim of this paper is to provide an overview of direct anthropometry and sensitize orthodontic fraternity with the nuances of the same.

32. Forensic Science International Naikmasur VG, Determination of sex in southern Indians 2010;197:e1–e6 Srivastava R, Mutalik S and immigrant Tibetans from cephalometric analysis and discriminant functions

Abstract: Skeletal components play significant role in sex determination in forensic and anthropological fields. Skull is considered second best, after pelvis, in determination of sex. Methods based on morphological characteristics and morphometry are already in use with reasonable accuracy. Standardized radiographic techniques like cephalometry have advantages of being more precise and objective when compared to morphologic methods. The present study aimed at obtaining and comparing the reliability of cranio-mandibular parameters in South Indian and Indian immigrant of Tibetan populations using lateral and postero-anterior (PA) cephalograms. A total of 11 cephalometric parameters were traced on lateral and PA cephalograms manually. Functions to aid in the sex determination were developed by subjecting the cephalometric parameters to discriminant analysis. Among the chosen parameters bizygomatic width, ramus height, depth of face contributed most for sexual dimorphism in both the populations. Upper facial height was the additional parameter for sexual dimorphism in immigrant Tibetan population. The discrimination accuracy in South Indian population was 81.5% while that of immigrant Tibetan population was 88.2%. With the current study it can be concluded that cephalometric cranio-mandibular parameters can be used to discriminate the sex using discriminant function analysis and similar cranio- mandibular parameters contribute to sex prediction across populations.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of porcelain to laser welded titanium surface and to determine the mode of bond failure through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrophotometry (EDS). Forty five cast rectangular titanium specimens with the dimension of 10 mm x 8 mm x 1 mm were tested. Thirty specimens had a perforation of 2 mm diameter in the centre. These were randomly divided into Group A and B. The perforations in the Group B specimens were repaired by laser welding using Cp Grade II titanium wire. The remaining 15 specimens were taken as control group. All the test specimens were layered with low fusing porcelain and tested for shear bond strength. The debonded specimens were subjected to SEM and EDS. Data were analysed with 1-way analysis of variance and Student's t-test for comparison among the different groups. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed no statistically significant difference in shear bond strength values at a 5% level of confidence. The mean shear bond strength values for control group, Group A and B was 8.4 +/- 0.5 Mpa, 8.1 +/- 0.4 Mpa and 8.3 +/- 0.3 Mpa respectively. SEM/EDS analysis of the specimens showed mixed and cohesive type of bond failure. Within the limitations of the study laser welding did not have any effect on the shear bond strength of porcelain bonded to titanium.

Abstract: A 26-year-old malnourished woman presented with a 4-day historyof mouth pain and a 3-month history of fatigue, general malaise, and palpitations. Physical examination revealed pallor of the conjunctiva and nail beds,as well as koilonychia (spoon-shaped nails). Laboratory studies revealed a hemoglobin level of 30 g per liter, a platelet count of 45,000 per cubic millimeter, and a leukocyte count of 4100 per cubic millimeter. Iron studies were not done, because of financial limitations; however, the clinical and laboratory findings were suggestive of iron- deficiency anemia. Intraoral examination revealed an abscess, which was drained. The patient underwent blood transfusion; the repeat hemoglobin level was 71 g per liter, and there was clinically significant improvement in her systemic symptoms. The cause of the iron deficiency was not identified but was presumed to be related to hookworm infestation, which had a high local prevalence. She was given albendazole empirically, and iron supplementation was begun on discharge. The patient returned 3 weeks later for tooth extraction, and her general condition was found to have improved.

Abstract: Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a highly aggressive uncommon libro-osseous lesion occurring in the facial bones. Two histological varians of JOF. Irabecular and psamomatoid have been reported. Here we present a case of a 20- years old juvenile diabetic patient with massive growth on here left side of the jaw which was diagnosed as juvenile ossifying libroma. This huge aggressive mass in the left side of the mandible had lead to complete lingual tlitting of molars and premolars. After clinical and radiological examination, a bipsy led to the histopathological diagnosis of mixed variant of juvenile ossifying libroma. The required surgical treatment (hemimandibulectomy) was undertake under GA. The aggressive local behaviour and high recurrence rale of JOF emphasizes the need for an early diagnosis, and appropriate radical treatment with long-term follow-up. One such case is reviewed and discussed in detail in the following article.

5. Journal of Indian Dental Association, Dr. Ramakant Nayak Calcifying ghost cell odontogenic cyst or Accepted Jan 2010 Dr. Pradeep tumor: A Review Dr. Deepa Hugar

Abstract: Calcifying odontogenic cyst is an uncommon benign cystic neoplasm of odontogenic origin. Which shows extensive diversity in its elinco- pathological appearance and biological behaviour. Although named and defined as a cyst, there is no agreement in the literature regarding its classification as a cyst or neoplasm. Thus confusion prevazils regarding its terminology and classification of this lesion. Literature suggest various types of classification and terminology of calcifying odontogencio cyst depending upon its clinical and histopathology. World Health Organisation classified it as a neoplasm rather than a cyst, but confirmed that most of the cases are non-neoplastc. In view of this duality, many different terminologies have been applied to cystic and solid calcifying adonotgenic cyst variants, but calcifying odontogenic cyst is the preferred term. In addition, several calcifying odontogenic cyst classifications have been suggested in the literature, each of them trying to separate its cystic from solid variants, but none has been universally accepted. In this article we discuss the various classifications of calcifying odontogenic cyst reported in the English lanuage literature.

Keywords: Calcifying odontogenic cyst, odontogenic cysts, and odontogenic neoplasms.

6. Journal of Indian Dental Association, Dr. Ramakant Nayak Validity of Deciduous canines in sex Accepted Jan 2010 Dr. Vijaylakshmi K determination amongst South Indian Dr. Jagadish H Population.

Abstract: The use of dentition in determining the gender has been explored and advocated owing to its strength and resistance to peri and post mortem insult. Among the teeth permanent canine is most studied and has greatest sexual dimorphism. Using permanent mandibular canines many researchers have predicted a high level of accuracy in identifying the gender correctly. There are onlu few studies where deciduous teeth have been used to determine the sexual dimorphism. Thus this study was concucted with the aim to determine whether deciduos canines can be used for sex indentification in children, if so to determine the accuracy rate in predicting the sex correctly. A total of 112 samples were included in the study with 49 males and 63 females and mean age range was between 4-6 years. Mesio-distal dimension and inter-canine distance of bothe maxillaru and mandibular right and left canine was recorded using digital vernier caliper. The obtained values of all parameters were marginally greater in males compared to females. The standard mandibular canine index obtained showed predictive value ranging from 18.36%-59%. The left deciduous mandibular caine showed better predictive valus with 51% in males and 54.85% in females. Hence it can be concluded that deciduous canine provides average accuray rate in determining the sexul dimorphism and canine odontometry in isolation cannot be used as a tool in identification of sex in children.

Abstract: A rare case of simple ameloblastoma, acanthomatous type, which contained ghost cells and granular cells is reported. Although the ghost cells were noted only in the center of some tumor cell follicles, these staing properties were the same as those in the calcifying odontogenic cyst. It is suggested that, like the granular cell and hyaline body in odontogenic tumors and cysts, the presence of ghost cells is not a specific feature of the calcifying odonotgenic cyst.

Abstract: Squamous cell carcinoma is the most prevalent malignancy of the oral cavity. The conventional squamous cell carcinoma and several hisologic subtypes of squamous cell carcinoma have varying behaviour when they coccur in the oral mucosa. Basalold squamous cell carcinoma is an extremely rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma. It is known to have a poor survival rate and is frequently diagnosed at6 an advanced stage with metastases. Hence, earlier diagnosis helps in a better prognosis. Here, we report five new cases of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma., its clinicopathilogical caparison with conventional squamous cell carcinoma and differential diagnsis with other basalod fumous of oral cavity. In the present series of cases the floor of mouth was the most common site with male predilection. Furthermore they presented with distinct histological features which may aid in the correct diagnosis accurate treatment and better outcome.

Abstract: Ameloblastoma, a relatively common epithelial odontogenic umor includes severl histopathologic subtypes like follicular,plexiform, acanthomatous and desmoplastic variants. Hybrid desmoplastic ameloblastoma (DA) composed of typical desmoplastic ameloblastoma along with areas of follicular/plexiform ameloblastma is an extremely rare variant of ameloblastoma and to date only 16 cases have been documented. We report a new case of hybrid DA which additionally showed remarkable hostologic findings of wxensive bone formation and presence of mucous cells. It occurred in a 64 year old female patient involving the left maxilla from lateral incisor to distal to first molar. A comprehensive review of bybrid DA and the unusual finding aimed to offer an insighjt ointo the parthogenesis of these hetergenetics in odontogenic epithelium and clinical implications was also undertaken. Hybrid DA showed characteristic clinicopathologic feautures of a desmiplastic ameloblastoma with the exception of predominant mandibular occurrence. A likelihood of areas of solid multicystic ameloblastoma being a part histopathologic spectrum of DA questions the need for use of them “hybrid” was observed. Regarding the osteoplasis, most cases occurred in Asians and in anterior maxilla. The prominent TGF-B expression seen in our case adds emphasis to its role in desmoplasis and osteoplasia. Furthermore, we identified an interesting association of desmoplasia with incidence of mucous cell metplastoma.

Abstract: Ethanolic extract of the roots of C. spinarum was evaluated for hepato-protective and antioxidant activities in rats. Oral pre-treatment with ethanolic extract (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) showed significant hepatoprotective activity against CCl and paracetamol-induced 4 hepatotoxicity by decreasing the activities of bilirubin and lipid peroxidation, and significant increase in the levels of uric acid, glutathione, super oxide dismutase, catalase and protein in a dose dependent manner, which was confirmed by the decrease in liver wet weight and histopathological examination. The extract possessed strong antioxidant activity. This suggests that the hepatoprotective activity of C. spinarum is possibly attributed to its free radical scavenging properties.Submitting original research artile “Determination of sexual dimorphism in mandible and crania using lateral cephalopgram and poster-anterior radiograph among Indian Population” with changes as per instruction.

Abstract: Hospital is one of the complex institutions which are frequently visited by people from every standard of life without any distinction between age, sex, race and religion. Most of these hospitals and helath clinics produce a waste which is increasing in its amount and type and leading to risk for patients and personnel who handle these wastes and poses a thereat to public health and environment. Keeping in view inappropriate biomedical waste management, the Ministry of Enviornment and Forests notified the “Biomedical Waste (management and handling ) Rules, 1998” in July 1998. In accordance with these Rules, it is the duty of every “occupier” i.e a person who has the contriol over the institution and or its premises, to take all stpes to ensure that waste generated is handled without any adverse effect to human health and enviorment . The hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, dispensary, animal house, pathological lab etc., are therefore required to set in place whre the biological waste treatmen facilities are available. It is however not incumbernt that every institution and health clinics has to hgave its own waste treatment facility. However it is incumbent on the ocipier to ensure that the waste is treaed within a period of 48 hours. The aim of the present article is to enlighten in detail regarding the different types of wastes, the side effects from these wastes and different modalities of their management.

Abstract: Abscess of the tongue seems to be a rare clinical entity and is a potentially life threaten-ing infection. This acute enlargement of the tongue can present as an emergency, due to an air-way compromise and disseminated infection to other regions. Thus, a tongue abscess should be considered in all cases of acute tongue swellings, especially when host defenses are severely im-paired. In acute cases the diagnosis of tongue abscess can be reached clinically In later cases, culture and smear analysis are useful diagnostic tool, whereas antibiotics provides considerable amelioration of symptoms. Although none of our cases were life threatening, but we could able to diagnose these cases, based on their classic clinical symptoms and all 3 cases were confirmed by using standard diagnostic tool. They were put on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs for the relief of symptoms followed by the local drainage.

Abstract: Stability is a primary objective in orthodontic treatment. Without it, ideal function or esthetics or both may be lost. Despite the utmost care in treatment and retention, relapse may occur either due to patient's non-compliance in wearing the retainer or sometimes when orthodontists fail to exercise the basic. In few cases re-treatment is required in the form of re-banding or re-bonding most if not all the teeth. Admittedly this is an extreme measure but an interested and co-operative patient deserves that kind of consideration.

Abstract: Discrepancies in tooth width ratios could affect the excellence in the finishing of orthodontic cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate Bolton's tooth width ratios in crowded and non-crowded dentitions in class I and class II skeletal bases among the south Indian population and discuss the clinical implications of the possible differences. Hundred and twenty upper and lower patient dental casts were grouped into four according to the presence of crowding and sex. Carey's Arch perimeter analysis was done. Tooth width ratios were calculated in the four groups using formulas proposed by Bolton.The results suggested that not much of statistical difference was observed among class I and II patients, and between crowded and non crowded dentitions in the males and females, although there was a moderate significance between class I and class II skeletal bases in the anterior ratio in males. In the crowded dentition, the teeth had larger mesiodistal when compared to that of the non-crowded dentition. The mean anterior and overall ratio for the crowded dentition in the South Indian population was 78.5% and 90.67% respectively. The same for the non-crowded dentition was 78.27% & 91% respectively.

These FRC post systems are composed of fibers of carbon, glass, quartz and polyethylene and have several advantages over the conventional metal posts. Theyare esthetic, have modulus of elasticity similar to that of dentin and appear to perform well clinically. The chemical affinity between luting material, fiber posts and composite core material is extremely important in achieving high bond strengths. Bond strength can enhanced by using various pre-treatment procedures. Application of a silane onto the post surface significantly increases the adhension of post to the resin cement and the compostire core.

Abstract: Medicinal plants are part and parcel of humans since the dawn of civilization. In recent years, multiple drug resistance has developed due to indiscriminate use of synthetic drugs. This drives the need to screen medicinal plants for novel bioactive compounds as plant based drugs are biodegradable, safe and have fewer side effects. Neem (Azadirachta indica) is perhaps the most commonly used traditional medicinal plant of India. Almost all parts of the plant are endowed with medicinal properties. Several pharmacological activities and medicinal applications of various parts of Neem have been documented in the ancient literature.Teeth and their supporting structures are subject to infection by Streptococcus species, a number of facultative anaerobes like Enterococcus faecalis, and opportunistic pathogens like Candida albicans. Literature shows that Neem is a powerful agent that inhibits the increase and establishment of microorganisms that cause infectious diseases in the oral cavity. In the present study we have evaluated the antimicrobial potential of Neem leaf aqueous and alcohol extracts.

Abstract: Viruses are known to be immunosuppressive and facilitate establishment of sub gingival pathogens and have been detected in the gingival crevicular fluid. Virus-like inclusions have been identified in gingival inflammatory cells from localized juvenile periodontitis. Viruses are known to infect the inflammatory cells of the periodontium; they are present more frequently in diseased sites than in healthy sites. Progressing periodontal disease may be associated with reactivation of HCMV in periodontitis which harbor elevated levels of putative periodontal pathogens like tannerella forsythia, treponema denticola to name a few. The following review is an attempt to explore the reality behind the above said inter-relationship.

Abstract: Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition initiated by microorganisms inhabiting the gingival crevice, leading to destruction of the tooth supporting tissues. There are various risk factors for the disease and smoking is one of them. The maintenance of equilibrium between the host defense and microorganism in the sulcus is essential to preserve health. Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a very important pinenomenon in requlating homeostasis and disturbance in this is often associated with disease. Fibroblasts are the important component of the connective tissue, with is responsible to maintain homeostasis. The aim of this investigation was to study the influence of smoking on apoptosis of fibroblasts by quantifying them in the gingival connective tissue of smoking and non smoking subjects suffering from chronic periodontitis. 30 Gingival biopsies were harvested from smokers (n=15) and non smokers (n=15) who suffered from chronic periodontitis. The apoptosis of fibroblasts was assessed and quantified using p53 monoclonal mouse antihuman antibody. The mean ages of the smokers was 47.20=0.70 and non smokers was 44.40=13.40. There was on significant difference in plaque and bleeding index and in probing depth in two groups, but clinical attachment loss showed a significant increase in smokers with p value of 0.036*. There was an increase in apoptosis of fibroblasts among smokers than non smoking subjects suffering from periodontitis

Abstract: In Coronally anchored flap (CAF) histological observations by few researchers found new attachment in furcation lesions. We report clinical changes in human intrabony lesions with coronal flap anchorage. Two sites in a patient are included in this report. At one site CAF was performed. At one site flap was sutured at crestal level. Gain in probing attachment averaged 4.0mm with CAF site compared to flap sutured at crestal level. The combination of crown anchorage and root demineralization in the treatment of intrabony lesions appeared as effective in obtaining bone fill as when additional enhancing procedures such as bone grafts or collagenous membranes were used. More studies are needed to find out if this regenerative procedure should become included among therapeutic approaches in the management of intrabony lesions.

Abstract: Recent studies have focused on genetic polymorphism of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene, which has led to a better understanding of the intricate interactions between host response, microorganisms, and genetics. Genotype prevalence appears to vary by the race and ethnicity of the population studied. We used a polymerase chain reaction technique to determine the prevalence of single nucleotide polymorphism in IL-6 at position -174 G>C in a population of 30 South Indians. Blood samples were collected from 15 chronic periodontitis patients and 15 healthy controls. The results showed that the G/G genotype was significantly more frequent in the chronic periodontitis group and that the C/C genotype was significantly more frequent in the control group (P = 0.0069 for both). The G allele was more frequent in chronic periodontitis patients (76.67%), whereas the C allele was more frequent in the control group (73.33%). Among chronic periodontitis patients, the odds ratio for having the G allele, as compared with the controls, was 9.04. In this population, the presence of the G/G genotype of IL-6 (-174) might increase susceptibility to chronic periodontitis, whereas the C/C genotype may have a protective effect.

Abstract: The Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device is a hybrid functional appliance used for treatment of Class II malocclusion and for midline corrections. To ensure a symmetrical installation on the left and right sides, we recommend the following procedure: 1. Mark the leg of one of the L-pins at a point 2mm away from the L-bend. 2. Insert the marked pin into the headgear tube of a spare prewelded molar bracket, so that the lies immediately distal to the tube. Make a second mark on the pin just mesial to the molar tube. 3. Remove the pin from the tube and transfer the same markings to the second pin. The mesial marks will be visible during installation of the Forsus, so the pins can be bent precisely and symmetrically at these marks. Later reactivation using the manufacturer's crimpable stops will also be more precise if these steps are followed.

Abstract: One of the popular means to treat the partially edentulous patients to restore oral function and esthetics is by fabrication of an acrylic partial denture. A very important requirement for a removable partial denture is that it should not cause any damge to the underlying tissues. An acrylic partial dnture is supposed to be a tempopary prosthesis and may harm the integrity of adjacent teeth and health of supporting tissues, if worn for extended periods without supportive care. Of considerable concern are reports that many patients expressed satisfaction with these dentures, inspite of the fact that their dental health had deteriorated markedly. As we continue to use this prosthesis in this manner, it is better to know a few more points about them so that their ill effects are minimized.

3. Pharmacognosy Reviews, V. Kusum Devi, Importance of novel Vol 4, Issue 7, Jan-Jun 2010 Nimisha Jain, drug delivery systems in herbal medicines Kusum S. Valli

Abstract: Novel drug delivery system is a novel approach to drug delivery that addresses the limitations of the traditional drug delivery systems. Our country has a vast knowledge base of Ayurveda whose potential is only being realized in the recent years. However , the drug delivery system used foradminesteting the herbal medicine to the patient is traditional and out- of- date, resulting in reduced efficacy of the drug. If the novel drug delivery technology is applied in herbal medicine, it may help in increasing the efficacy and reducing the side effects of various herbal compounds and herbs. This is the basic idea behind incorporating novel method of drug delivery in herbal medicines. Thus it is important to integrate novel drug delivery system in Indian Ayurvedic Medicines to combat more serious diseases. For a long time herbal medicines were not considered for development as novel formulations owing to lack of scientific justification and processing difficulties, such as standardization, extraction and identification of individual drug components in complex polyherbal systems. However, modern phytopharmaceutical research can solve the scientific needs (such as determination of pharmacokinetics, mechanism of action, accurate dose required etc.) of herbal medicines to be incorporated in novel drug delivery system, such as nano particles, microemulsions, matrix systems, solid dispersions, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles and so on. This article summarizes various drug delivery technologies, which can be used for herbal actives together with some examples.

Abstract: Cementogenesis has long been a subject of controversy especially with regards to the initial cell-matrix interactions. In this respect, the junction between dentin and cementum has been studied by observing it from different aspects and by using different techniques. Interestingly, these studies have revealed a lot, but have also raised controversies as the results are varying, sometimes even contradicting. Ever since a junctional tissue was first described by Bodecker in 1878, authors have differed on the terminology because of the lack of proper evidence for its exact origin, structure, composition and potential function. This has been further complicated by the variations seen in different species: the presence or absence of the same, its location, and histological picture (as most studies have been done on animal models). The present study provides a means to examine this interface on human teeth.

3. Dentistry International Dr. George Cherian The cemento-dentinal interface: the 1st Quarter 2010 / Vol 1 unfolding of an enigma

Abstract: Dentistry, predominantly a surgical field with frequent exposure to blood and body fluids, is a high-risk occupation with respect to occupationally acquiring infectious diseases. Traditionally, based on the routes of disease transmission, we can categorize diseases that are bloodborne, airborne and also through fomites. There are also new and emerging diseases that have had serious public health consequences. Common diseases of public health concern that need to be addressed are bloodborne diseases, such as hepatitis A, E, B, C, D and G, HIV; respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), AH1N1 influenza and immunizable childhood diseases. Apart from infection control measures, we must implement public health policy measures, such as immunization of current and prospective health care personnel (students in the dental profession) against immunizable diseases, utilize disease screening measures,postexposure disease control measures and utilize standard and additional precautions, the latter as required in certain instances.

DEPARTMENT OF PERIODONTICS Sl. No. Name of Journal, Volume No. Issue and Period Author/s Title of the article 1. Accepted for publication April 2010 Dr. Sushama Indian journal of Dental Indian journal of Dental Research ResearchEvaluation of an innovative radiographic technique “ Parallel profile radiograph to determine the dimensions of dentogingival unit.

Abstract: Background: Maintenance of gingival health is a key factor for longevity of teeth as well as of restoration. In this context the physiologic dentogingival unit (DGU) functions as a barrier against the microbial entry in the periodontium. Length of DGU can be determined by histologic preparations or by transgingival probing but they are invasive and expensive. This study sought to evaluate an innovative radiographic exploration technique ''PARRALLEL PROFILE RADIOGRAPH” for measuring dimensions of DGU on labial surfaces of anterior teeth. The values obtained from this technique are in agreement with the values obtained from transgingival probing. Thus ''PARRALLEL PROFILE RADIOGRAPH is a simple, concise, noninvasive and reproducible technique that measures both the length and thickness of DGU with adequate accuracy in clinical setup.

Abstract: The mechanical removal of bacterial plaque, calculus and toxic material is an effective means of altering the etiology of inflammatory periodontal disease. Mechanical therapy in routine clinical practice can be accomplished with hand or power driven instruments. New diamond coated microultrasonic tips which resemble a periodontal probe have been developed for subgingival use. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of various root planing instruments under conditions of non surgical root debridement. Percentage of residual calculus as evaluated using stereomicroscope did not show any statistical significance. Scanning electron microscopic assessment for the Remaining calculus was significantly higher for standard smooth ultrasonic tip compared to curette. Diamond coated ultrasonic tip showed greater roughness and loss of tooth substance. Within the limits of this in vivo study, diamond coated ultrasonic tip removed a greater amount of root surface and created a rougher surface compared to the curette and standard smooth ultrasonic tip.

Abstract: Irreversible loss of periodontal tissues due to periodontitis can be treated by therapeutic intervention which can induce periodontal regeneration. Conventional therapy involves repair with no repair of cementum. For decades attempts have been made to develop clinical procedures which might lead to predictable periodontal regeneration. The guided tissue regeneration and the emdogain have shown some amount of regeneration but not predictable periodontal regeneration. These are the first generation periodontal regeneration therapies. The tissue engineering approach with gene therapy is considered the second generation periodontal regeneration therapy. The nano technology and rapid prototyping methods may form the third generation periodontal regeneration therapy.

Abstract: Pachyonychia congenita represents a group of rare, autosomal dominant keratin disorders with characteristic nail findings, abnormalities of palmoplantar skin, pilosebaceous apparatus, oral and laryngeal mucosa and teeth. Of the four clinical subtypes, a case of type 1 Pachyonychia congenita (Jadassohn-Lewandowsky syndrome) with rare oral findings is being presented. A 32 year old female patient reported with the chief complaint of bleeding gums and burning mouth. She presented with angular chelitis, white lesions (scrapable and non scrapable) on buccal mucosa, tongue and palate and also with focal areas of depapillation on tongue. Periodontal status correlated to the amount of local factors present. Histopathologic features of white lesions were suggestive of Candidial leukoplakia. Treatment was aimed at providing symptomatic relief for the patient. A thorough scaling and root planing was carried out along with administration of vitamin B complex which has led to resolution of white lesions.

9. Clinical Dentistry- Accepted Dr.Vinayak S. Gowda Successful periodontal treatment of August 2010.(first author) Birooted maxillary lateral incisor with Palato-Radicular groove

Abstract: Supernumerary root is a developmental alteration in the shape of the tooth. Palato-radicular groove (PRG) is a common developmental anomaly of maxillary incisors but its association with birooted maxillary incisor is relatively infrequent. It is an anomaly in which an infolding of inner enamel epithelium and Hertwig's epithelial root sheath create a groove that passes from cingulum of maxillary incisors apically on to the root and it has been speculated to be an aborted formation of an additional root. It has been suggested that the most complex forms of PRG may separate an accessory root from the main root trunk. Communication between the PRG and pulp may result in otherwise unexplained pulpal pathology and it may contribute to localized periodontal disease process due to bacterial plaque accumulation. Prognosis of such condition is usually poor and several authors have presented cases that were extracted. This article reports successful treatment of maxillary lateral incisors with a mesio-palatal PRG presenting with a combined pulpal-periodontal lesion and a previous unsuccessful endodontic therapy.

Abstract: Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has a variety of potential uses, including as a root canal obturating material. MTA has an ability to facilitate normal periradicular architecture by inducing hard-tissue barriers. MTA may be an appropriate material for sealing immature root canals with open apices that could otherwise impose technical challenges in obtaining adequate obturation. A successful prognosis from conservative, nonsurgical treatment with MTA for such difficult cases can be of great benefit to the patient. The following case report demonstrates the use of MTA as an obturating material to promote periapical healing of a maxillary central incisor with an open apex due to a previous traumatic injury.

Abstract: Internal resorption is a relatively rare resorption of dentin which starts in the pulpal cavity either in the pulpal chamber or in the root canal and destroys surrounding dental hard tissues. The initiating factor in internal root resorption is thought to be trauma or chronic pulpal inflammation, but other etiological factors have also been suggested. The prognosis for treatment of small lesions of internal resorption is good. However, if the tooth structure is greatly weakened and perforation has occurred, the prognosis is poor and tooth extraction must be considered. In many instances advanced diagnostic methods may be required for a definitive diagnosis such as CT. Sodium hypochlorite; ultrasonic instrumentation and calcium hydroxide are the cornerstones of treatment of internal inflammatory resorption. Mineral trioxide aggregate is being increasingly used as a root canal filling material, particularly in cases of perforation. This article describes case reports of nonsurgical endodontic treatment of Internal resorption where computed Tomography (CT) was used for diagnosis and treatment planning. Based on the CT findings, root canal therapy was the treatment of choice.

Abstract: The main goal in endodontic infection is to recognize and removal of etiological factors. Debridement of the root canal by instrumentation, irrigation and removal of biofilm is considered important factor to prevent and treat endodontic disease. The root canal morphology provides excellent conditions for a biofilm formation which is one of the main causes for endodontic reinfection. The following review article explores the biofilm formation which commences from adhesion of planktonic microorganisms to a surface followed by colonization, coadhesion, growth and maturation and finally detachment of some microorganisms. Bacteria's present in biofilm display a wide range of characteristics that provide a number of advantages over planktonic bacteria.

Abstract: Many investigators have postulated that the sex harmones modify the response to local irritation, thereby causing the histological and histochemical changes in the gingival. A few studies also noticed changes in the alveolar bone. A clinical, radiographic and biochemical study was undertaken to evaluate comparatively, the effect of oral contraceptives therapy on periodontium of 43 women. Oral contraceptive therapy, especially the longer duration could lead to poorer oral hygiene changes, increased susceptibility to periodontal disease, and radiographic changes in the alveolar bone, like lamina dura thickening, trebacular condensation, and radio- opacities. There was a trend for decreased serum calcium and phosphorous levels and increased alkaline phosphatase levels, associated with longer duration of oral contraceptive use.

Abstract: Factitial injuries are inflicted by patients with factitial disorders. The name factitial comes from the latin word that means “artificial” or “contrived”. Factitious disorder (FD) is an umbrella category that covers a group of mental disturbances in which patients act intentionally physically or mentally ill without obvious benefits. The motive of the patient may be different for each patient; the primary aim is to gain sympathy, nurturance, and attention accompanying the sick role. Serious, deliberate self inflicted wounds in the mouth are less common than on skin. Though serious psychiatric disease is less common in children, occasional patients have later committed suicide. The following report is an unique case of a seven year boy, who reported with tooth-ache following forcible lodgement of a metal ball by a plastic toy gun in a carious tooth cavity.

The most common drug induced enlargement is associated with phenytoin induced hyperplasia is a serious concern for both the patient and the clinician. The phenytoin induced gingival enlargement is a well known and frequently reported gingival lesion, which was first detected in 1939. However there are conflicts in literature about the agent which affect the severity of the lesion. This article documents a severe gingival enlargement associated with phenytoin and provides a rational model for its management. Initial a full mouth scaling, oral hygiene instructions and phenytoin withdrawal were performed, however, clinical results demonstrated partial resolution of maxillary gingival enlargement. Subsequently, surgical therapy was indicated for mandibular teeth. Complete reduction of the enlargement, and clinical parameters were observed after surgical therapy.

Abstract: With increased awareness towards dental aesthetics multidisciplinary periodontal therapy has begun to gain momentum. Management of grossly attrited teeth is a challenging situation and is dealt with a multidisciplinary approach. In cases of severe tooth wear, the crown height is drastically reduced, in some cases up to the gingival level. This might require a contribution from the disciplines of endodontics, periodontics, orthodontics and prosthodontics for predictable results. Following we present the management of one such case.

Abstract: The Ameloblastic carcinoma is a malignant counter part of the ameloblastoma. This tumour is rare and known to occur in older individuals in 5th decades of life. Here we present clinicopathology of three cases of ameloblastic carcinoma occurring denovo in younger age group of 3rd decade of life and one in 5th decade of life. While most of the authors have considered Keratoameloblastoma, Squamous odontogenic tumour, Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma, intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma as the differential diagnosis, we found difficulty in differentiating it from primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma and Acanthomatous ameloblastoma. Our study is aimed at possible methods to differentiate Ameloblastic carcinoma from Acanthomatous ameloblastoma and Primary intra osseous squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract: Schwannoma (neunlemmoma) is a beingn neoplasm originated from the neural sheath and occurring most frequently in maxillofacial region intraosseous schwannomas are rare. The mandible is the most common site of occurrence for these lesions. We report a rare case of intraosseous neufilemmoms of the mandible with an emphasis on clinical, radiographic and pathological findings. The tumor, located mainly in the ramus region, presented as a soft tissue mass in the oral cavity, Multilocular, well-defined and radiolucent lesion on plain radiography. Dilatation of the mandibular canal was identified Plain radiography partly helped to identity the solid nature of the tumor. A biopsy was necessary to make the final diagnosis because of the relatively nonspecific nature of the lesion. The lesion was surgically removed and no evidence of recurrence was observed after 6 months.

Abstract: The Pendulum Applucance dissigned by James Hilgers is one of the most useful and widely used intra-oral appliances for molar distalization. Many modifications of theis applicance have been proposed. However, most of these appliance hamper the mainterncance of oral hygiene and, sicnce they are fixed, they need to be activated intra-orally which cannot be done with precision. For extra-oral activation the bands have to be removed and re-cemented which, in turn, increases the chair side time. With these short comings in mind, we propose a new modifivation, which allows for easy removal and insertion of appliance so that extra-oral activation can be done with ease and precision. Our modification of the Pendulum applinance consists of round 0.036 tubes, which are soldered on the lingual surface of the first premolar bands, so that the retaining wires will side into these tubes. This creates a removable sliding retaining point. The completed appliance has removable spirings which slide into the lingual sheaths of the first molar bands.

Abstract: A case of impacted upper left canine at the age of 19 ½ yrs is presented. Any deviation from the normal sequence of development leads to the impaction of teeth. Although the best treatment alternative for impacted teeth is extraction, the same cannot be directly applied to canines. Since canines present with a high demand on aesthetic and functional requirements, alignment of impacted canines into the arch is the best treatment approach. In the present case a semi-fixed appliance was used to bring the impacted canines into place followed by a fixed appliance mechanotherapy. Total treatment time was about 14 months. Post-treatment records demonstrated good vitality of the impacted tooth and the adjacent teeth.

Abstract: A Holistic health approach does not view the body, mind and spirit as separate entities and promotes drugs and surgery ably when absolutely essential. Yoga is a way of life, a science of Holistic living. One of the aims of Yoga is the maintenance of a constant and steady state of mental equilibrium. Asnas purify the body and mind and have preventive and curative effects. The Yogic concept of food takes into consideration the total dimension of human existence. A Balance diet, according to Yoga is that which restores balance at all levels. Happiness results form the calming down of our mind by the constant practice of Yoga. The enlightened man realizes that power, pleasure, wealth and knowledge pass away and do not bring freedom. Leading a Holistic life, implies the practice of Yoga in one form or other, knowing or otherwise.

Abstract: The orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst (OOC) is a developmental cyst of the jaws which was previously considered as a variant of the odontogenic keratocyst (OKC). Today the OKC has been renamed as keratocystic odontogenic tumour (KCOT) because of its locally aggressive nature and tendency to recur. Considering that the OOC has clinical and histological features distinct from the KCOT it has become essential to create an awareness regarding the dissimilarity between the two entities as this could affect the treatment of the patient. This case report and review will help to highlight some of the distinctive features of this cyst.

Nagesh actinomycotic osteomyelitis & associated Dr. Asha R Iyengar florid cementosseous dysplasia: report of Dr. S. Girish Rao a familial case

Abstract: Florid Cemento-Osseous Dysplasia (FCOD) is a well recognized fibro-osseous disease of the jaws commonly seen in the middle aged African women, although it may occur in the Caucasians and Asians. There is a reported incidence of less than 2% in the Indian population. The clinical and the radiographic features of FCOD may overlap with features of chronic diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis, which makes diagnosis of the disease difficult in symptomatic cases. Moreover the jaws may be susceptible to osteomyelitis, which may mask the underlying FCOD in some cases. The case reported here is that of a 56 year old Indian female patient with long standing FCOD involving the maxilla and the mandible, who was asymptomatic till all her teeth were extracted for fabrication of complete dentures. The patient experienced symptoms of pain, swelling and purulent discharge soon after the use of dentures and was treated by surgical removal of the affected bone. The same symptoms recurred in other areas of the jaw over a period of time and these areas were treated surgically. The patient subsequently presented with pain in the mandibular left posterior region of ten days duration, and was diagnosed as FCOD with superimposed Actinomycotic Osteomyelitis based on his-to pathology and Gram's stain, and was treated by surgical removal of the affected bone followed by hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO). The radiograph of the surgical site showed good amount of bone regeneration within six months of HBO therapy without recurrence of the FCOD in the same area till date.

Abstract: Background and Objectives: It has been pointed out that Parathyroid hormone related protein (PTHrP) secreted by the developing enamel epithelium targets receptors in overlying bone, thereby activating bone resorption and allowing tooth eruption. Accordingly, it is conceivable that ameloblastoma, which to a degree recapitulates certain characteristics of enamel epithelium, would also express PTHrP. This study is done to assess the PTHrP expression in ameloblastoma, to investigate its role in local bone resorption and provide explanation for the infiltrative growth and destructive behaviour of this tumour which may hold significant therapeutic implications.

Abstract: The present report highlights a case where a patient presented with midline diastema in the lower arch due to missing mandibular incisors and the esthetic and occlusal problems associated with permanent teeth Oligodontia. Congenitally missing teeth is the condition of having one or more missing teeth which cannot be observed clinically or in radiographic images. However, the prevalence of oligodontia in permanent teeth is reported to be 0.14%. There have been reports showing absence of maxillary lateral incisors, premolars, unilateral absence of mandibular incisors but agenesis of bilateral mandibular central incisors is not well documented in the literature. The early orthododntic intervention may eliminate some of the periodontal and restorative problems that could arise in these patients as adults. The aim of this case report is to document a case of congenitally missing permanent teeth along with other occlusal abnormalities and to discuss its clinical implications and management.

Abstract: Self Ligating Brackets [SLB] have been propagated as the latest and the most ideal form of ligation. This clinical study was undertaken to compare the clinical efficacy of SLB with that of standard conventional twin bracket [CTB] in the rate of decrowding. Twenty patients with lower incisor crowding, requiring extraction of all first premolars were randomly divided into ten cases each for Group 1 [CTB] and Group 2 [SLB]. The mandibular crowding was quantified using “The Little's Irregularity Index” on every 14th day. Pre treatment and post treatment radiographs were taken to measure the amount of proclination and lower first molar anchor loss. The results showed that the SLB showed similar efficacy in decrowding when compared with the CTB [p value is not < 0.05]. Both the groups showed similar amount of proclination [(2o ±1.96) in Group 1 and (2.5o±0.39) in Group 2 ] and insignificant anchor loss (.015 mm in Group 1 and 0.05mm in Group 2) [p > 0.05 in both the groups].

9. Orthodontic Updates. July 2010 Dr. Manjunath Hegde Tricks of The Trade – A Modified Dr. Ankur Gupta Pendulum Appliance For Easy Insertion Dr. Sandesh S Pai and Removal

Abstract: The Pendulum Appliance given by James Hilgers is perhaps the most easy and widely used intra oral appliance for molar distilization. Since then many modifications of this appliance have been proposed. However most of these appliances hamper maintenance of oral hygiene and since they are fixed, they need to be activated intra orally which cannot be done with precision. For extra oral activation the bands have to be removed and recemented which in turn increases the chair side time. A new modification has been proposed in this article, which allows for easy removal and insertion of the appliance so that extra oral activation can be done with ease and precision. The easy removal of the appliance will also aid in cleaning of the tissue surface of the palatal button.

Abstract: Introduction: The Purpose of this study was (1) to evaluate maximum thickness and the chemical composition of the precipitate formed between sodium hypochlorite (NaOcl) and chlorhexidine (CHX) and (2) to evaluate effectiveness of absolute alcohol to remove residual NaOcl and thereby prevent the formation of precipitate. Method: Forty extracted single rooted human teeth were decoronated, and the canals were instrumented. In the test group (Ts group),canals were irrigated with 17%EDTA and 2.5% NaOcl followed by 2% CHX. In absolute alcohol (Aba) ,Saline (sa),and distilled water (dw) groups, Intermediate flushes of absolute alcohol ,saline,and distilled water were used in between the last two irrigants. Teeth were sectioned longitudinally and subjected to stereomicroscopic examination.Results: The Ts group samples showed orange – brown precipitate, concentrated more in the coronal and middle thirds, where as the Aba groups showed no evidence of precipitate. The Sal and Dw groups showed minimal precipitate in the coronal and middle thirds. The thickness of the precipitate was measured using ProgRes computer software (Olympus,Hamburg was confirmed by,Germany).The chemical composition of the precipitate was confirmed by Beilstein and Hcl tests, and the nuclear magnetic resonance imaging technique confirmed chlorine in the para position of the benzene ring .Conclusion: The interaction between NaOcl and CHX resulted in an insoluble neutral salt as the precipitate that can be prevented using absolute alcohol and minimized using saline and distilled water as immediate flushes.

Abstract: The excessive overbite is a complex orthodontic problem that may involve a particular group of teeth or the whole dentition, or the maxilla and mandible. The correction of deep bite is one of the primary objectives of orthodontic treatment and one of the most difficult to treat successfully. Innumerable methods have been developed to treat deep bite but no single approach is best. Each approach has its own advantages and disadvantages and optimal correction of deep overbite requires accurate diagnosis, individualized treatment planning and efficient execution of treatment mechanics.

Abstract: Overtreatment is the treatment of non-existent pathology or providing services excessive to the true needs of the patient. It has been observed that overtreatment in dentistry is a problem spread throughout the profession. There are a number of reasons why a dentist might suggest unnecessary or overzealous treatment. This paper explores the instances and potential factors which lead to overtreatment as also the solutions for this growing problem. Overtreatment has been reported to be one of the causes of increasing health care costs today. There is a need to embrace evidence-based treatment protocols that can lead to optimum treatment. Thereby we can prevent overtreatment of unsuspecting patients and also keep dentistry's conscience clear.

Abstract: Recent studies have focused on genetic polymorphism of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene, which has led to a better understanding of the intricate interactions between host response, microorganisms, and genetics. Genotype prevalence appears to vary by the race and ethnicity of the population studied. We used a polymerase chain reaction technique to determine the prevalence of single nucleotide polymorphism in IL-6 at position -174 G>C in a population of 30 South Indians. Blood samples were collected from 15 chronic periodontitis patients and 15 healthy controls. The results showed that the G/G genotype was significantly more frequent in the chronic periodontitis group and that the C/C genotype was significantly more frequent in the control group (P = 0.0069 for both). The G allele was more frequent in chronic periodontitis patients (76.67%), whereas the C allele was more frequent in the control group (73.33%). Among chronic periodontitis patients, the odds ratio for having the G allele, as compared with the controls, was 9.04. In this population, the presence of the G/G genotype of IL-6 (-174) might increase susceptibility to chronic periodontitis, whereas the C/C genotype may have a protective effect.

Abstract: Thumb sucking is the process of sucking on the thumb for oral pleasure. Thumb and finger sucking habits, or non-nutritive sucking, are considered to be the most prevalent of oral habits. Some parents are concerned by thumb sucking and may even try to restrain the infant or child. In most cases, this is not necessary. Most children stop thumb sucking on their own. When older children continue to suck their thumbs, it could mean they are bored, anxious or have emotional problems such as depression. This article presents a case report of a child

Abstract: One of the primary handicapping conditions of childhood is cerebral palsy (CP). Controversy exists about the incidence of dental caries and its associated salivary risk factors in cerebral palsied children. Thus the present study evaluated the correlation between dental caries and certain salivary risk factors in these children. One hundred non-institutionalized children in the age group of 5-12 years having cerebral palsy were selected. The W.H.O. criteria was used for diagnosis and recording of dental caries. Determination of the unstimulated salivary pH, buffering capacity and flow rate of stimulated saliva was carried out. The mean deft and DMFT values were 2.51 and 0.73, respectively. Salivary pH was 6.83, buffering capacity 10.84 and salivary flow rate 1.08ml/per min. A significant correlation was observed only between salivary pH and dental caries in the primary dentition of CP children.

Abstract: Growth and development of the human face provides a fascinating interplay of form and function. Among the various facial bones, the mandible plays a very important role during various growth modification therapies. These treatment modalities will yield a better result in less time if properly correlated with skeletal maturity. It is very essential to know where the site of growth occurs and also the time when it occurs or ceases to occur. This study was conducted to assess mandibular dimensions at various stages of skeletal maturation. The subjects included 6 to 18 year old children who were grouped according to their MP3 stages of skeletal maturity. Lateral cephalographs were taken and from their cephalometric tracings, linear and angular measurements of the mandible were made. The values obtained were subjected to statistical analysis. Results showed that mandibular height, length and symphysis thickness increased with skeletal maturity. An increase in angles SNB, L1-MP and a decrease in gonial angle and ANB angle were observed.

Abstract: Vascular malformations are congenital anomalies resulting form errors during embryonic vessel development and fetal morphogenesis (approximately 48 days of human embryogenesis). Approximately 40% venous malformations are located in head and neck egion. A-V malformations are complex network of intercommunicating arterial and venous structures. Hence, pathologists rely on elastic stains as ancillary tools for making definitive diagnosis of anterior-venous malformations, because the arteries and anterior are integral part of AVMS. The presence of intralesional nerve in AVMS is an additional diagnostic criteria and can be readily used to differenctivate AVMS from hemangiomas, even in H&E stained tissue sections.

Abstract: The problem of cross infection and ionfection controlling dental practice has become a matter of public concern. While much of the impetus for change has come from within the profession, it is probable that changing public expectatyions for cross infection control could also play their part. So a study was conducted about public perception of cross infection control dentistry in a dental college and hospital. The purpose of the study was to assess the perception of the patients on the use of goves and questionnaire survey of patients attending the college and hospital in Bangalore.149 responded to the questionnaires. Nearly all (85.9%) regarded the use of gloves as necessary, 81.2% felft the facemask was necessary, 51.7% of the respondents said HIV/AIDS is most common transmitted disease in the clinics and 36.2% said all blood related diseases can transmit in the clinic 82.6% responded that dental assistant should also follow cross infection control preicedures. While the survey shows a high kevek of acceptance of the use of gloves and use of the facemask there is glaring lack of knowledge about methods of sterilization. It also reveals a great deal of fear of HIV among the patients.

Abstract :Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic disease among postmenopausal women and is suspected to be a risk factor in periodontal disease. Various studies have been conducted in the past to study the association between osteoporosis and periodontal disease but have failed to establish the relationship due to lack of precise methods for the assessment of osteoporosis in the jaws and presence of other confounding factors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the variations in mandibular morphology as assessed by panoramic radiographs in pre and post menopausal women and correlate the radiographic parameters with periodontal parameters. Full mouth periodontal status examination and panoramic radiography was performed in 30 premenopausal women (controls) and 30 postmenopausal women (cases).there was a negative correlation between CAL and the radiographic parameters in the post menopausal women. The results suggested that reduction in the bone mineral content of the jaws may be associated with less favourable periodontal attachment levels.

Abstract: Oral mucositis is a common, debilitating complication of cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy, occurring in about 40% of patients. Mucositis causes severe pain and distress, and may limit the tolerability of chemo/radiotherapy, and hence its effectiveness. Furthermore, patients with damaged oral mucosa and reduced immunity are prone to opportunistic infections. Oral mucositis may be so severe that patients food and fluid intake, speech and self esteem are reduced, further compromising patients response to treatment. The current lack of an approved, effective mucositis treatment has sparked interest in the development of interventions that are based on the biological mechanisms

Abstract: Loss of eye due to road traffic accident is a mutilating one. The devastating effects of the accident leave few options to an Ophthomologist, especially if the situation demands urgency. In the present case report, the patient had major accident which resulted in severe disruption of the socket. The team effort of the Prosthodontist and Ophthomologist was a viable treatment option as the requirement of the prosthodontist regarding the morphology of the socket guided the ophthomologist to undertake reconstructive surgery. It is critical to ensure that the soft tissue of the eye socket is handled in such a manner during surgery that it could support the prosthesis fabricated by prothodontist.

The advantages and disadvantages of cement retained implant prosthesis, factors influencing its retention i.e. 1. taper 2. abutment height 3. abutment surface area and width 4. surface roughness, and 5. type of cement are discussed. Cement type is the deciding factor of retention if retrievability of the prosthesis is desired. The majority of cements used in implant dentistry at present have been designed for use with crowns luted to natural teeth. Therefore, development of cements providing different levels of retention, designed specifically for implant dentistry, may be warranted.

Abstract: To evaluate the effect of disinfectants and die hardeners on hardness and abrasion resistance of Type IV gypsum product. A total number of 90 specimens were fabricated in 9 groups (n=10), using Type IV gypsum product (Ultra Rock). The first group served as a control, and rest of the specimens were tested for hardness (Vickers hardness) and abrasion resistance (weight loss) after treating them with one of two disinfectants: Propanol (Bacillol 25) or Glutaraldehyde (Loba Chemie) and one of two die hardeners: Die hardener (Han-Dae Dental Products) or Stone- die and Plaster Hardener (Heart-Man Dental lab). The specimens were also tested after treating them first by each disinfectant followed by each die hardener. The results were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Bonferroni test. (α=0.05). Both hardness and abrasion resistance of specimens increased after application of disinfectants and die hardeners individually (P<.001). The use of disinfectants followed by die hardeners on test specimens exhibited substantial improvement in both properties as compared to the control group (P<.001) Treatment with Heart Man die hardener exhibited the highest hardness and abrasion resistance followed by treatment with Han Dae die hardener. Specimens disinfected with either disinfectant (Propanol and Glutaraldehyde) separately and then coated with either die hardener (Han Dae and Heart Man die hardeners) separately had less values compared to treatment with die hardener alone. However, these values were significantly higher when compared to values obtained after disinfection with either disinfectant alone.

Abstract: With the predictable integration of implants, the emphasis is shifted towards precise prosthesis. Reproducing the intraoral relationship of implants through impression procedures is the first step in achieving an accurate, passively fitting prosthesis. The critical aspect is to record the three dimensional orientation of the implant as it is present intraorally, other than reproducing fine surface detail for successful implant prosthodontic treatment. The development of impression techniques to accurately record implant position has become more complicated and challenging. During the prosthetic phase of implant therapy there are numerous options available to the implantologist in relation to different impression techniques and materials available for impression making. It is critical to ensure that implant – prosthesis interface have passive fit and original position of the implant maintained in the master cast. There is no evidence supporting that one impression technique or material is better than the other. In the present article the various parameters affecting the accuracy of implant impression along with impression material and technique pertaining to different clinical situations is reviewed.

92 RGUHS - Compendium of Dental Publications

Abstract: The possibility of producing custom-made implants opened a new era in the reconstructive surgery of the craniofacial area. The use of autologous bone for craniofacial reconstruction may be restricted due to limited amount of donor bone. The need for remodelling the harvested bone into complex shapes may also complicate the surgery. Combined surgical and prosthetic rehabilitation of these structures utilizing craniofacial implants is a viable option which offers several advantages when compared to surgical reconstructive techniques alone. Predictability and superior aesthetics are the major advantages of this technique. Titanium implant has been widely used in several surgical fields. In addition to the advantages of good biocompatibility and mechanical strength, it also provides the advantage of being light in weight. This clinical report highlights the combined surgical and prosthetic approach for the successful management of frontonasal defect using custom made titanium implant.

Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate the retentiveness of specifically-designed implant cement and to compare its retentiveness with dental cements that are commonly used with implant systems. The cements used were: 1. resin-bonded zinc oxide eugenol cement 2. purposely- designed implant cement 3. zinc phosphate cement 4. zinc polycarboxylate cement and 5. glass ionomer cement. After cementation, each sample was subjected to a pull-out test using universal testing machine and loads required to remove the crowns were recorded. The mean values and standard deviations of cement failure loads were analyzed using ANOVA and Bonferroni test. The results do not suggest that one cement type is better than another, but they do provide a ranking order of the cements in their ability to retain the prosthesis and to facilitate its easy retrievability.

Abstract: Dental implants constitute a well-established approach for replacement of lost teeth with titanium being the most favored material for implantation. However, titanium has its limitations in esthetically demanding cases and neither the form nor material of such implants has changed much over the past 40 years. Today, there is scientific evidence that zirconia dental implants osseointegrate well and offer many advantages over titanium implants. Because of its excellent biomechanical characteristics, biocompatibility, and bright tooth-like color, zirconia (zirconium dioxide, ZrO2) has the potential to become a substitute for titanium as dental implant material. In addition, there are previous reports on the successful use of Zirconia as root-analogue implants by reproducing the contours of the extracted tooth. This article presents an overview of the technique of using root analogue zirconia dental implants as an immediate implantation material which are replicas of the extracted tooth and therefore truly anatomical and socket friendly.

96 RGUHS - Compendium of Dental Publications

Abstract: A magnificent orthodontic correction can be destroyed by failure to recognize periodontal susceptibility. Both the short and long term successful outcomes of orthodontic treatment are influenced by the patient's periodontal status and maintenance by the patient. Periodontal pathogenesis is a multifactorial etiologic process and the orthodontist must recognize the clinical forms of inflammatory periodontal diseases. Co-operation between different specialities in dentistry is required in treatment planning in some conditions. One such interaction exists between orthodontics and periodontics. The interrelationship between orthodontics and periodontics often resembles symbiosis. This article reviews the important aspects of the need for the periodontal consideration in orthodontic treatment plan.

Key words : Periodontal pathogenesis, Ortho-perio sysmbiosis.

Abstract: Internal resorption is a relatively rare resorption of dentin which starts in the pulpal cavity either in the pulpal chamber or in the root canal and destroys surrounding dental hard tissues. The initiating factor in internal root resorption is thought to be trauma or chronic pulpal inflammation, but other etiological factors have also been suggested. The prognosis for treatment of small lesions of internal resorption is good. However, if the tooth structure is greatly weakened and perforation has occurred, the prognosis is poor and tooth extraction must be considered. In many instances advanced diagnostic methods may be required for a definitive diagnosis such as CT. Sodium hypochlorite; ultrasonic instrumentation and calcium hydroxide are the cornerstones of treatment of internal inflammatory resorption. Mineral trioxide aggregate is being increasingly used as a root canal filling material, particularly in cases of perforation. This article describes case reports of nonsurgical endodontic treatment of Internal resorption where computed tomography (CT) was used for diagnosis and treatment planning. Based on the CT findings, root canal therapy was the treatment of choice.

Abstract: Propolis (bee glue) is a sticky dark-colored material that honey bees collect form living plants, mix it with wax and use it in the construction and adaptation of their nests, mainly to fill out cracks in the bee hive. It has been used in folk medicine since ancient times, and is now known to be natural medicine with antibacterial, antifungal, antitumoral, antioxidant, munnomdulatory properties. These therapeutic properties of propolis have been motivating isolation researches, identification of chemical compounds, and the possible relationship of these with its biological activity. It has been used in dentistry for surgical wound healing, root canal treatment, pulp capping and tooth hypersensitivity. Propolis has a promising role in future medicine. This article reviews the clinical application of propolis as a natural medicine in dentistry.

Abstract: Identification of the factors that regulate immune tolerance and control the appearance of exacerbated inflammatory conditions is crucial for the development of new therapies of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Resolution of inflammation and the return of tissues to homeostasis protect us against excessive tissue injury and promote the restoration of function and structure. Resolution of inflammation, which was considered a passive event, is actually an active process where new families of endogenous lipid mediators from omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids play an important role in removing proinflammatory mediators generated from arachidonic acid. These chemical mediator families, termed Resolvins and Protectins, are potent stereoselective agonists that control the duration and magnitude of inflammation, along with the Lipoxins as signals in resolution. This review examines the mapping of these circuits and recent advances in our understanding of the biosynthesis and actions of these novel proresolving lipid mediators. A search in the electronical databases PubMed and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials was carried out. The search strategy applied was: "Omega fatty acid" AND "resolution of inflammation," including articles from January 1,1985 to October 2009. This resulted in the identification of a total of 52 articles, which were analyzed in full text leading to consideration of only nine full texts.

Abstract: Ellis-van Creveld syndrome also known as chondroectodermal dysplasia is a rare genetic disorder of the skeletal dysplasia type, first described by Richard WB Ellis and Simon van Creveld in 1940. The syndrome manifests with several skeletal anomalies, oral mucosal and dental anomalies, congenital cardiac defects, nail dysplasia and polydactyly of one or both limbs. It is caused by mutation of EVC1 and EVC2 genes located in a head-to-head configuration on chromosome 4p16, which has been identified as the causative. The EVC phenotype is variable and affects multiple organs. The presence of oral mucosal and dental alterations, like the presence of numerous frenulum, oligodontia, bellshaped anterior teeth, hypoplastic erupted teeth with high-caries index, will confirm the diagnosis of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome and hence its importance to dentists.

Abstract: Nonsmokers exposed to environment tobacco smoke (ETS) absorb nicotine and other compounds just as smokers do and greater the exposure to ETS, greater the level of these harmful compounds in the body. The ill effects of ETS range from gingival pigmentation to lung cancers and death. Exposure to ETS is difficult to measure quantitatively and has been approximated by self reported estimates, primarily smoking history in spouses. Documentation of gingival pigmentation in non smokers is however meager and has remained contentious. Thus we aimed to assess the effect of ETS from smoker parent on gingival pigmentation in children and young adults and also assess the urine cotinine levels in the same.

Abstract:: Background: The response of the periodontium to certain genetic and haematological disorders may vary from bleeding, ulcerations and necrosis to a more severe form of periodontitis. Periodontal management in such conditions still remains an enigma with respect to the timing of the periodontal intervention with regard to the systemic wellbeing of the patient. Methods: Necrotising ulcerative lesions in a patient with Fanconi's anaemia (FA) progressed rapidly in a week's time necessitating early preliminary periodontal care which included scaling and root planning using ultrasonics supplemented with hydrogen peroxide irrigation in conjunction with systemic antibiotics and blood transfusion. Results: Following 1 unit (500ml) of fresh whole blood transfusion 24 hours preoperatively, basic periodontal therapy, comprising of removal of necrotic slough and thorough scaling was done. There was marked resolution of the necrotic ulceration and related symptoms when the patient was followed up for a period of 1 month. Conclusion: This report reconfirms most oral manifestations of Fanconi's anaemia sand is the first of its kind to associate necrotic ulcerative changes of the gingiva with FA. It also goes a step further to emphasise the clinical significance of multidisciplinary approach towards successful patient management which was the primary objective.

Abstract: The recent advance in the field of imaging have left every clinical spell bound although its practical applications are still in a limbo and that is well evident in the field of orthodontics as well. Here we shall review the various recent cranio-facial imaging techniques and their uses in brief. The human body is three dimensional in nature and its depiction as a two dimensional structure by the routine diagnostic techniques presents a grave problem for an anstute clinician in both diagnosis and treatment planning. The radiographic errors act as an add on to the already existing inaccuracies and hence make on orthodontists job more complex and difficult. These limitations have bee partially resolved with the use of computed tomography. Despite its major drawbacks like high cost and space requirement, it has been regarded as the next pioneer in craniofacial imaging ans with the coming of CONE BEAM CT, this referral has been proved to be true. Here, we shall look at various applications of CT in dentisty with special regards to its usage in orthodontics.
